This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 155 Hello everyone, I have an announcement to make (meaning that I will resume three updates a day starting today)
In just a moment, Nie Weiyang broke away from the dark and chaotic realm.

He staggered two steps and felt a slight headache for the first time in a long time, but the pain did not come from the longitude and latitude coordinates themselves, but from the obscure boundary.

He felt like a drop of water that had fallen into a torrent and emerged from it unscathed. This should not have happened, but it did happen, without any explanation.

Subtly, Nie Weiyang felt a sense of familiarity.

Just like in a certain period of time in the past, he had suddenly fallen into that gray world, among those bright green tombstones, but he really couldn't remember when he had been there.

——Then it can only be after death and before rebirth.

In just a moment, Nie Weiyang locked onto the target.

He was almost certain that in his previous life, between death and rebirth, he must have visited that realm. So, was that the Netherworld?
No... the underworld is dark. It is not the ambiguous and turbulent, soft and cold gray. It is even less likely to be filled with endless tombstones and convey some kind of message to him.

【142°12.2′E，11°19.9′N】

What's this?
This was beyond Nie Weiyang's knowledge. He leaned on the table with one hand, pondered for a moment, and finally just wrote down the coordinates and gave up thinking for the time being.

At this moment, he had returned to the brightly lit hall, but there was still no one around, only four dark passages.

Nie Weiyang simply sat down on the spot and turned on a computer.

If anyone else tried to start it, it would definitely not respond, but the CSSS series security personnel's work ID was swiped across the seemingly extremely old card reader, and the computer turned on obediently.

Nie Weiyang opened the log file with a clear goal, and as expected, the log was empty, without even a record of the log deletion operation itself.

He opened the database again, and the files were disappearing rapidly. Within two breaths, only one file remained:
The Bottom of the Trench—142°12.2′E, 11°19.9′N, Challenger Deep

Questions that had no answers just now now have answers.

Nie Weiyang was thoughtful. He tapped the screen with his finger and opened the document.

This is an article introducing the 'origin of life'. In the text, it describes the Mariana Trench and Challenger Deep as the 'womb of the planet', and the entire planet as the 'mother's embrace'.

This wording reminded Nie Weiyang of something: Mother Goddess Worship.

After all, humans are humans after all. They can create so many fancy cults on Earth, so it is even more impossible for the return sect to be the only one thriving in the new world.

Among many cults, the Regression Sect has the largest number of members, while the members of the Mother Goddess Cult are the most mysterious. They worship motherhood, the mother planet, food, drinking water, pregnancy, reproduction, and other behaviors related to life and the continuation of life.

All their religious activities revolve around the ocean, because they believe that the ocean is the amniotic fluid of primitive life. Without the ocean, nothing would appear.

This is indeed true from the perspective of biological evolution, so their persuasiveness is even greater.

The power of the Return Sect comes from the outside world, from demons that cross the sky. The professions and skills of the Mother God Worship Sect come from the power of the planet itself.

That power transcends the mortal world, transcends civilization, transcends race and individual life...

Its name is [The Principle of Life and Death Cycle]! In addition, there are other sects, such as the 'Earth God Cult', whose object of worship is the mysterious planet of the New World itself. They are the great enemies of the Mother God Cult because they also worship [The Principle of Life and Death Cycle], but they believe it is merely a messenger of the planet.

The Cult of Life also worships the principle of the life-death cycle. While they're considered the most lawful of the three sects, they're far from benevolent. They simply aid the boss in whatever they do. They can even summon projections of various bosses to fight, though calling these projections monkey-like is a bit of a disparagement.

There is a branch within the 'Cult of Life' that later became independent, called the 'Cult of All Living Beings'. They believe that all living beings are gods, and the object of their worship is every extremely powerful individual player. They can even summon projections of these individuals to fight, but their summoning sacrifices are the blood, bones, brains and flesh of 'ordinary gods'.

There was also the Star God Cult, whose objects of worship were the stars, and they had a good relationship with the Return Sect. And then there was the Light Worship Cult, whose objects of worship were the source of all light and heat, and they had a good relationship with the Star God Cult, because everyone loved the sun. But from the beginning, Nie Weiyang was prepared to guard against their worship of the Second Administrator.

Among these, the highlight is the "Cosmic Tide Cult". They insist that there is a tidal phenomenon in the light and darkness, life and death in the universe, and now the "tidal time" has arrived.

In their teachings, the New World is a garbage dump, and humans are thrown here just to deal with garbage. If humans are unwilling to obey the arrangements, they are evil, terrifying, dark, cruel, and should be destroyed.

Therefore, the relationship between this sect and all other sects is completely hostile, and even the Return Sect does not like them.

Compared to the Cosmic Tide Cult, the Return Cult could even be considered friendly, even though most other sects, big and small, disliked the Return Cult, believing them to be traitors...

In the previous life, the activities of the Mother Goddess Cult were always carried out in coastal areas and islands in the ocean, and never entered the inland areas.

This time...

…I’m afraid that the development of things has become completely different.

Nie Weiyang frowned, and slowly clicked his fingers to delete the document.

This information cannot be seen by other people in the institute, as it will only cause unnecessary reveries and fantasies.

Challenger Deep, 142°12.2′E, 11°19.9′N.

This is a place that humans cannot go to now, and Nie Weiyang has never been to in his previous life. Even if there is a signpost pointing to it on the road ahead, he will not rashly try to go there.

He simply engraved the coordinates in his mind, stood up to check the cable layout, walked into the darkness, and headed towards the familiar server room.

When the weight of knowledge can crush a person's soul, and a wrong choice made by a strong person can destroy the fragile order, unnecessary thinking and attempts will also become poisonous.

Compared to the secrets hidden in the Challenger's Abyss... he wanted to know more about why the Mother Goddess Cult summoned the clone of the [Principle of the Cycle of Life and Death] that they absolutely could not control.

After all, another name for this thing is: [Planet Incarnation·Alienated Ecosystem]!
　Yes, I will resume three updates starting tomorrow.

　　The main storyline is progressing too slowly. I'm getting anxious, anxious, anxious.

　　The inability to provide information quickly will cause some problems, but these will be solved as long as more updates are added. After studying it for three minutes, I realized that thinking too much is not as good as updating as much as possible (), so I decided to beat myself up and squeeze out more updates.

　　(Thumb bunnies crawling all over the ground) (Turns into a white Arctic twintail elf)

　　Actually, I wanted to start sex today, but I’m not in a good mood today (), so let’s start tomorrow!
